I recently upgraded from win 10 to 11 and from my old speed of 100 mbs i m being limited to 20 sometimes even lower.
I tried resetting everything from my list of networks to the router 's settings and all that, turned off any possible power saving option, used TCP optimizer to max out my speed, disabled IPv6 and none of these worked.

So - did you reinstall them after upgrading to windows 11 or not?

how is this supposed to help you?
 
Going back a bit....

"used TCP optimizer to max out my speed".

Disable/remove. Probably not doing much good, if any good at all.

= = = =

From "ipconfig /all".

Your router's IP address is 192.168.0.1 and the PC is being given a DHCP IP address of 192.168.0.233. Not a problem and can most likely can be left as is. Subnet masking okay - expected 255.255.255.0

There is only one network adapter enabled. Wired. Only one network adapter of any sort should be enabled so that is okay.

Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 2C-F0-5D-8C-D3-F5
DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes

Lease time: Lease time is only two hours. Technically should not make a difference but change the lease time to max allowed. Who has full admin rights to the router? You will need help from that person.

IPv6 - problematic for many systems so disabling IPv6 is commonly recommended. You mentioned it was disabled - it is currently enabled.

DNS: Change the DNS servers to Google using 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

Make changes one at a time and allow a boot or two between changes. Keep notes on what you change and where you made the change along with original setting/value and new setting/value.

Hopefull the speed will improve and remain consistent.

There are other commands and tools that can be used to help diagnose network problems - "ipconfig /all" being just one of them.

can you help me and show me the steps in order to max the lease time
 
Make and model router?

Go to the manufacturer's website to find the applicable User Guide/Manual. Be sure that you are at the real manufacturer's website. Just because the manufacturer's name appears in the URL does not mean you are at the real website.

Many fake websites when it comes to manual searches and they hit you with alarms and false warnings.

Having the manual in hand may or may not be helpful with respect to showing all menus, sub-menus, and options. However, the manual may provide additional information and explanation regarding configuration options and trade-offs.

= = = =

That all said, the process is much the same for most routers:

Starting point being to access the router.

To access the router all you need to do is to type 192.168.0.1 into your browser. (Source = "ipconfig /all" plus it is a very commonly used Router IP address.

You will then (or should be) prompted for the admin login name and password. Login.

Once logged in work through the various tabs and menus - likely to be quite a lot of things to configure and/or change. Be careful not to change anything. CANCEL is your friend.

Find the lease time settings. Format varies but you should be able to set the time span. May be a default value and there may be a max allowed value. Pay attention to units: days, hours, minutes...

If possible take a screen shot as a reference and print the screenshot out before changing the lease time.

Once the lease time is changed you will need to "SAVE" or otherwise confirm the change in some manner.

Reboot the PC and use "ipconfig /all" again to determine if the lease time matches what you configured on the router.

i disabled ipv6 in control panel on ethernet properties in the networking tab, is it enough?
and i also changed the dns
nothing changed
 
One of the default router IPs used by TP-Link is 192.168.0.1

You mentioned "list of networks" - what is that list and what is its source?

What other router settings were changed?

Run "arp -a" via the Command Prompt and post the results.

And, looking back again - do you have another known working ( at speed, no problems) Ethernet cable to swap in?

the cable it s not the problem for sure but i ll try
and arp-a it s not recognized in cmd as a working command
by list of networks i meant every wi fi and lan connection has been brought to the default values by resseting the preferences for each using cmd

no i did not change any MAC s or configure any static ip
my router is set on a dynamic ip

If you are able to identify each of the 192.168.0.X devices then no problems there.

Going back to the modem: make and model? Are the modem's DHCP functions (if any) disabled?

FYI:

Objective again being to discover the source/cause of the limited network speed.

i ll check the modem tomorrow the make and model
but man i m so lost i tried almost everything but it has to do with win11 cuz on 10 it worked just perfect
